Bridal Bag

Bridal clutches for the ceremony and the reception

A wedding day often spans many hours, so your bag needs to work from the ceremony through to the reception. A bridal clutch is always a chic choice for the ceremony, and can be left with a member of the bridal party as needed. A bridal clutch bag with a detachable chain or wristlet offers more versatility for the reception, when you may wish to go hands-free on the dance floor.

Matching a bridal bag to your gown

When choosing a bag to complement your gown, consider colour, fabric and general design. Colour-wise, you don’t need a perfect match for your dress. In fact, ivory and champagne hues can work just as beautifully as white clutches, and add a little dimension to your look. 

Fabric can also be a deciding factor: pearl bags and simple, understated beading look stunning with a touch of lace, while satin finishes are right at home with silk gowns and classic silhouettes. 

What a bride carries

You only need the essentials: your lipstick, phone, vows, and a small emergency kit. Choose a bridal bag that’s roomy enough for everything without feeling bulky. Designs like the  BETH Encrusted Clutch, GABRIEL Pearl Embellished Clutch and PETA Pearl Handle Bag all balance style with practical requirements. They also feature detachable chains, making them ideal for the ceremony and reception. 

Bags for the bridal party

Matching bridesmaid bags can add a whole new level of cohesion to your bridal party’s look. Wedding bags with room for the essentials that complement bridesmaid gowns are the best choice, be it satin ivory clutches or metallic beaded designs. 

Mother of the bride bags

You’ve selected your bridal bag and designs for your bridesmaids, but you may also need a Mother of the Bride bag, too. Polished clutch designs are a no-brainer, while satin and light beading can work wonderfully, depending on overall aesthetic and colour palette.
